Northwestern University Archives Football Films Collection

The Northwestern University Archives holds many hundreds of hours’-worth of football films, dating from 1929 to the recent past. Our goal is to digitize these films, some of which are fragile, and to make them available to fans of college football all over the world. Below you will find what has been done so far--an exciting selection of game films, including the 1949 Rose Bowl game, and the notorious 1982 Lake the Posts game.
